Hamburg: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the geopolitical situation in the Gulf, West Asia and in the Korean Peninsula is a matter of concern as he asked BRICS nations to be a voice for stability, reform, progress and governance at the world stage.
During an informal gathering of BRICS leaders in hamburg hosted by the Chinese President on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, the Prime Minister said the ups and downs in the global politics and worsening security situation are affecting everyone.
"BRICS has to be a voice of stability, reform, progress and governance at the world stage," he told the presidents from BRICS nations - Michel Temer (Brazil), Vladimir Putin (Russia), Xi Jinping (China) and Jacob Zuma (South Africa).
The West Asian region has been marred by conflict between Israel and Palestine and battle against the ISIS terror group, civil wars in Syria, Libya and Yemen. Millions of people have fled their homes in Iraq and Syria due to conflict.
Saudi and its allies accuse Qatar of supporting terror groups and maintaining close relations with Iran. The crisis has raised concerns of growing instability in the region.
PM Modi's remarks came in the backdrop of the US warning to North Korea that it would use military force in response to Pyongyang's "reckless" launch of a ballistic missiles. The US also blasted China and Russia for "holding the hands" of the reclusive nation's "vicious dictator" Kim Jong Un.
